An anti-fraud operation led by Europol and Interpol in 57 countries in 2016 uncovered more than 11,000 tons of counterfeit goods, including large quantities of oil, labeled as “extra virgin,” which had been intentionally mislabeled or adulterated to appear genuine.
In 2018, a similar investigation in 36 countries on four continents dismantled entire networks of counterfeit goods production. In that same year, another international operation uncovered almost 10,000 tons of counterfeit products in 61 countries, including a large volume of olive oil.
According to the Italian government, counterfeit foods are smuggled globally by modifying the original contents of food or by marketing products whose appearance closely resembles the authentic certified products, with names and titles that might appear legitimate.

There is counterfeiting of all sorts of items used by frum & non frum Jews and/or non Jews each and every day.
That does not mean you stop using the items. It means that when you find out that something is not genuine you stop using it.
If you go with the postulate that if it may be counterfeit then don't use it you may as well stop using and eating anything.
Why is the 11:41 am "chuchem" trying to shlog up R' Yudel when there is nothing to shlog up?
It makes a difference especially for Pesach since it can be adulterated with soybean oil which is kitnios.
Rabbi Feivy Mendlowitz commented a little while ago on his site that "the jury is still out" on whether Louis-Lazer Scheiner is all talk or will fundraise for bnei kollel way beyond ex-CEO Aaron Kotler.

Well, Lazer's sources of gelt derveil have been under heavy government scrutiny ...

NEVER ever saw such a TOELES comment.
Thank you for being mezakeh all of us with a solid resevation 'down there'.
Your Welcome.
There is a problem when non-kosher gelt is injected into yeshivos. There are halachos in Shulchan Aruch about it which those halachos sadly don't seem to get too much attention outside of Brisk.
Yeah yeah "sure". Name me one yeshiva building anywhere that was financed from a donation of improper money!
There is also a problem with non kosher speech and written word.
Ever heard of that one?
Or "rabbi" Mendlowitz knows better??
There is also definitely a problem with non kosher speech and written word from people with an evil agenda to protect all the reshoyim that the gedolei haposkim want us to be mefarsem on al pi Hatorah.
YesWeCanOrthodox CoverUp! sounds like a hybrid of an Obama slogan and an Agudah slogan.

And Bais Hatalmud..
the gedolei haposkim That Paulie decided are gedolim. All others get the grubeh nivul peh as their Kovod for not jumping when the Pope says jump...
Haynu hach! Beis Hatalmud was founded by R' Leib Malin ztl who was a shtik fun Brisk
